Statement

Date: May 26, 2018
Location: Miami, FL
Issues: National Security Foreign Affairs

U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) released the following statement after American hostage Josh Holt was released from prison in Venezuela:

"I am very happy for Josh Holt, his wife and their family. He was an innocent hostage being held by the Maduro regime. As the administration made clear this evening, their release will in no way change U.S. policy towards the dictatorship in Venezuela. Until Maduro allows free and fair elections, he will continue facing punishing sanctions."
